gear on me. I have my digital green combat uniform perfect to blend in with the bushy green trees on my back, my old tactical vest carrying six rifle magazines and two extra for my beaten but trusty Beretta m92fs which has never failed me in field before. But the most important thing that I’m carrying with me is my AK74m, a spectacular black russian rifle that has been with me since the beginning of my journey. My squad, the rabbits conformed of only five men, are all ready for some action. We…
The dead tell better stories then the living. For instance, if anyone had survived from inside the WTC, perhaps everyone would know that it wasn’t a controlled demolition. Perhaps then, in september of every year, the victims families wouldn’t have to endure the constant disrespect of their loved ones deaths by tin foil wearing conspiracy theorists. The shooting of john Lennon and Ronald Regan were not part of any mass shootings. And yes, I’m sure Jodie Foster wished Hinkleys motives never came…
Active Shooter Situations and Organizational Communication October 1, 2017 is one of the most recent dates that will be included in the history of the United States of America. October 1, 2017 is the day that the largest United States’ mass shooting occurred. On October 1, 2017, Stephen Paddock opened fire from the comforts of his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada (Kreps, 2017). His targets were concert goers attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Paddock…
It was May 22, 1864. I crouched behind the large tree that overlooked the battlefield down the hill, and my mind raced in disbelief. Cool and soft breezes brushed over me. My eyes studied my surroundings, looking for men in blue. With each breeze, my mind heard musket fire and the marching of my enemies. Kneeling, I tore strips of cloth from my pants and wound them around my bare feet. I made each movement slowly and deliberately, trying to regain my composure. After a few moments, I stood and…
week’s article reflection, I learned more about the AR-10. Springfield Armory selected two rifles in 1956 to be tested for military use. According to Bartocci (2014), almost immediately failures erupted. These would include broken extractors, failures to feed, bolt over base, failures of the muzzle compensator, bent gas tubes and pierced primers. After failing to impress Springfield Armory, the test rifle was sent back to Armalite for correction. A year later, after correcting the rifle’s…
fingerprint done and need to have a background check with many other things to verify that gun should be theirs along with the information that it is theirs if anything would happen with it. All types of guns are used for crimes, people could use shotguns, rifles, or handguns. So why the government chooses to ban assault weapons…
per every 100,000 people (Crimepreventionresearchcenter.org). If we ban the assault rifle we will not only keep the homicide rate the same but will likely increase it. “Assault rifles” should be legal, to prevent tyranny and protect the people from international invasion. Making these guns legal will reduce crime rate in America as it has done in many other countries. First let’s talk about the term “Assault Rifle”, because what most people don't understand is these weapons are different from…

In Sutherland Springs, Texas, a week prior a man attacked a church with a firearm, murdering twenty-six people and wounding twenty. A month prior to that, a shooter staying in a room on the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas in…
“Jump,” they said, I Jumped off the paddle boat as the cold water rose to my knees. My heart beat fast inside my chest “Duck,” they said, small spinning bullets flew around me as I rolled onto the shore. “Fire,” they said, the noise of piercing gunshots rung in my ears. Soldiers fell like flies. Their blood stained the sand. Their blood, as red as the poppies in the fields ahead. I looked up only to see a huge sandy cliff, lined with Turkish soldiers and guns pointed right at us. I was only 19.…
Weapons of destruction On December 14, 2012 a school shooting happened in Sandy Hook Elementary School. The shooter killed many people and he killed himself. His weapon of choice was a semi automatic or commonly known as a assault weapon. The murder wasn’t stopped,but actions similar to his can be stopped in the future. If assault weapons were banned crime would be down. The loss of would be minimized. Assault weapons should be banned due to their destructive nature and history. Assault…
